Hawks: T.J. update

The word out of Minneapolis is that T.J. Houshmandzadeh is on his way to meet with the Vikings. In fact, reporters there are expecting the free-agent wide receiver from the Bengals to arrive at the Vikings facility at any moment.

Houshmandzadeh, the top-ranked receiver in this year’s free agent class, spent Friday at the Seahawks complex, but wanted to talk with the Vikings before deciding what to do.

He originally said he wanted to make a decision by tonight, but has pushed that deadline to Sunday night, according to the Bengals website. The same report also says there is the possibility that Houshmandzadeh could re-sign with the Bengals.

Houshmandzadeh also told the Bengals website that he left Seattle without a deal but with favorable impressions of the city and organization. His two children got a kick out of their plane landing on Lake Washington near the Seahawks facility.

“Training camp right on the lake,” Houshmandzadeh said. “And they’re a team that has had a lot of success. They had a down year last year (4-12) but they had a bunch of injuries.”
